Right hand drive?
Because they cost of converting them isn't worth it? Because even the americans think they're lacklustre cars.

The same reason nobody imports any american car (<30 years).

Fair point, so you cant import one direct from Mitsubishi? with the wheel on the right side of the car :D

The way I see it,

the Eclipse GSX: AWD model equipped with a 210 hp (160 kW) turbocharged 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Mitsubishi 4G63 engine was the only decent one.

The later models, I guess for what it is, was OK but not a fan of FWD.

Also, Iam not to sure how much it is to import one in but if the cost all add up with doing the Left hand to Right hand drive covnersion, I would happily go for an EVO IX or EVO X.

well considering left hand drive has become legal since what i have heard in the past few years....

im not sure.my dad owned a 59 corvette a few years back and he told me that there are alot of left hand drive cars out htere.

i looooooooooove the green eclipse from F&F. AWD turbo. very nice car. the one in 2F2F is gay. front wheel drive v6 ....just shit(alright on the vw vr6 but not a long ugly car)

and i dont know why they would make the 2nd main car in 2f2f another eclpise but newer model. it could have been something different...plenty of cars i could think of.....

There are many better all wheel drive turbo cars and they are in Aus and RHD....

But then again if you did get one it would be unique. I have never seen one on the road here, they arent for me but I can understand why someone might want one. But if you did get one would you do it up like the one on F&F? With the OTT spoilers, kit and vinlys?? :P

you can be safe in the knowledge that any crap they pump out this time around couldnt possibly be worse than 2F2F

Apparently its connecting to the first one again. It'll have Vin Diesel in it again. so yea, we'll see how its gonna turn out....

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
